I have a 3 week old CS with no problems ’til now running on new Dell 8300 2.6 with 1gb of RAM, XP Pro. Hyperthreading is not active. Repeatedly, Magnetic Lasso will let me get about 15 to 20 points down (width 3px, contrast 1% [it’s faint, thin line image segment I’m selecting], Freq 2) then blanks out my PS window leaving all the title bars, frames, etc in place but replacing all other contents with a beige background. The ML tool icon still shows along with the last few points. I can keep using the ML tool and it lays down a selection line that matches the edge I was working before the image disappeard. If I hit ESC, it all comes back but the ML points are all gone, though the ML tool stays active. I’ve disabled Multi Processor support after seeing a thread about the Magic Wand, I’ve upped the amount of RAM available to PS, I’ve uninstalled my pen tablet, I’ve rebooted and restarted, but it happens every time. Have read a lot of forum posts, FAQs and searched, but can’t find a mention of this. Can’t reach Tech Support on the weekend. Anybody know what the heck is going on?
